This volume provides a broad interpretation of Anselm's theological
method through a study of his Monologion. The Monologion has been
chosen specifically because of its rich and nuanced account of the
search for the one God. Through a careful analysis of this text
what becomes evident is that Anselm's theological project is much
broader than a single argument or a simple account of how divine
justice and honor are appeased. What one encounters is a theology
informed by the notion of the human desire for God and the honest
search to come to know God in an intimate way. The Monologion,
therefore, will present an entry point into Anselm's theological
project. The second half of the volume will examine the reception
history of Anselm's two most famous philosophical and theological
contributions (i.e., the "ontological argument" and the
"satisfaction theory"). Anselm is often misunderstood because his
approach to theology is reduced to the "one argument" or a
carefully construed calculus of human redemption-such readings of
Anselm abound and often obscure the Benedictine context within
which his thought developed-and so a careful reading of Anselm's
texts and the history of reception and interpretation will offer a
counter narrative to the standard perception of one of the greatest
thinkers of Christian history.
